Neurodivergent Celebration Week 🌟

Throughout this week, we have shared information to improve understanding of neurodivergent experiences when someone is Autistic, and highlight practical ways to support more inclusive environments.

This campaign was developed with the support of lived experience advocates, including Ben Usher-Barrass, helping ensure the themes reflect real experiences and perspectives.

Small changes in communication, environment and approach can make a meaningful difference to patient experience.

We remain committed to building inclusive mental health services where neurodivergent people feel understood, respected and supported.

Thank you for following and engaging with the campaign.

Together, we can continue to improve care and inclusion across our communities.
